Government officials are today walking around with a face full of egg after the worlds best Special Forces unit were detained on arrival in Libya on suspicion that, wait for it, they were carrying guns.

Now, I don’t proclaim to be an expert in Military strategy, but I have seen enough Bond films to know that when you send in the Special Forces unit you generally don’t have them walking through passport control.

I mean, I couldn’t get a tube of toothpaste through security at Heathrow airport, so god knows what they were thinking strolling into war torn Libya and putting their machine guns in the little black tray, taking their tactical assault equipment belts off and waiting in the line to walk though the metal detector.

‘Have you got anything in your pockets sir’?

‘Well yeah, this block of C4 plastic explosive and some hand grenades!’

I would like to be the first to congratulate the organisers of this two-bit shitstorm.

Take heed, print this off and stick it on the fridge…

Note to self: Top Secret Special Forces units are much better at being Top Secret Special Forces units when they work in top secret. Idiot!
